Pinliang was thinking of avoiding Mengyao himself and talk to Yushu about tonight’s Firetree Silverflower plans- there were some things he didn’t really want to mention in front of Mengyao.

He was worried that Mengyao might reject him right away without any concern for his reputation- that’d make Pinliang look pretty pathetic, and it’d have an irreversible effect, too.

So Pinliang decided to go talk to Yushu about it first. As long as Yushu was willing to help persuade Mengyao into watching his Firetree Silverflower performance, then he was sure Mengyao would show up. Naturally, the performance would move her, and that might even make her fall for him…

“Ugh… How did you know?” Pinliang paused, thinking that this Yushu was pretty smart.

“Every time you come looking for me it’s to ask me to help you.” Yushu handed her shovel to Pinliang, a smile on her face. “Here, help me dig the holes and tell me what it is. We’ll talk about it after I know what you need.”

“Alright!” Pinliang quickly took the shovel, looking at Yushu very gratefully. Every time he went to her for help she’d always cause trouble, but she sure was being understanding today!

Mengyao would probably faint from shock if she were here- Yushu hadn’t even promised Pinliang anything! She was just being a little nicer, and that was enough to get Pinliang to labor for her for nothing, for free! Only Pinliang was dumb enough to fall for something like that.

“I’m thirsty- tell your follower to get some cold drinks.” Yushu seated herself on a soil pack, hugging her legs as she talked to Pinliang.

“Sure thing!” Pinliang quickly turned to call out to Xiaofu, who was some distance away. “Xiaofu! Go buy some drinks, cold ones! Hurry!”

Pinliang waited until Xiaofu had left for the drinks before speaking to Yushu. “Shu… I actually do have something I need you to help with…”

“Oh. Tell me- I’ll see if I can do it.” Yushu nodded half-heartedly, a little displeased that Pinliang had stopped digging. “I’ll dig the holes if you don’t want to- tell me what it is after I finish digging.”

“I’ll dig the holes… I wouldn’t let you dig them, obviously…” Pinliang gulped as he quickly resumed the digging. “I’ll tell you what it is as I dig, okay? So here’s the thing. There’s this tree called an Eskimo tree, and I heard it’s symbolic for love. According to legend, if you confess to a girl under this tree you’ll be able to win her heart…”

“You’re not trying to tell me you have an Eskimo tree, right?” Yushu wondered how stupid could someone get- did Pinliang reallly believe in such an unfounded legend?

“Yeah, I have an Eskimo tree that’s being shipped over by plane. I asked Xiaofu to go write some confession notes already for me to hang on the tree.” Pinliang said.

“Is that so?” Yushu said faintly as she busied herself with her phone.

“Yeah, but that’s not the main event tonight! It’s a little something I call Firetree Silverflower- I’ll be lighting up the sky with fireworks on the tree, writing Yao Yao’s name with those fireworks in the sky! It’ll be a huge confession.” Pinliang didn't know if Yushu was even listening, but as frustrating as it was he didn’t dare lose his temper.

“Oh, fireworks? Sounds fun. I’ll go take a look, so don’t worry- Yao Yao will be coming with me too.” Naturally, Yushu wouldn’t want to miss a large-scale fireworks show like that.

“That’s great!” Pinliang exclaimed happily as he increased his digging speed. It wasn’t a while until a huge hole was made. “Shu, is this okay?”

“Yeah. Dig one more beside it.” Yushu nodded, satisfied.

“Again?” Pinliang made a bitter face in response- it was hard enough just digging one… now he had to dig another?

“This one’s mine, and the next hole’s Yao Yao, but if you don’t want to it’s alright, I’ll just tell Yao Yao that you want her to dig it herself.” Yushu stood up to call out to Mengyao.

“N-No! Don’t…” Pinliang wanted to tear up- all that work and he wasn’t even doing it for Mengyao? If Yushu said that to Mengyao right now then his previous efforts would be wasted, and Yushu might even cause some trouble to ruin his surprise tonight! He gritted his teeth, deciding it was not something he could risk. “I’ll keep digging… Can’t let you and Yao Yao do this kind of work, right? Leave it to the boys!”
